Perfume Legends

‘Magnificent. The world’s leading writer on the subject.’ The Observer, London

‘It is the first time that a book about perfume speaks about the
perfumer.’ Francis Fabron, Perfumer (L’Air du Temps, Fracas, etc.)

‘This
is a fascinating book for anyone with even a passing interest in
perfume. Charting all the great scents since the launch of Guerlain’s
Jicky in 1889 to Mugler’s Angel in 1992, this tells the story of some
of the world’s most famous fragrances. Edwards’s passion for the
subject makes this more a great read than just a reference book.
Information value: Outstanding. Everyone will find the story of the
creation, name and design of one of their favourite scents, including
Chanel No 5, Tabu, Joy, Nuit de Nol and Opium.’ Newby Hands, Harpers
& Queen

‘There is no other book like it.’ Edmond Roudnitska, Perfumer (Femme, Eau Sauvage, etc.)
